This
scene
is
too
stereotyped
to
call
for
much
comment.
The
heads
of
the
King
and
Queen
and
the
figures
of
the
princesses
have
been
lost,
through
the
fall
of
the
slabs
inserted
with
a
view
to
the
finer
execution
of
these
important
parts.
The
vase
in
front
of
the
stands
has
been
chiselled
away
for
some
reason.
Although
the
name
of
the
princess
whose
figure
remains
is
destroyed,
it
is
easy
to
recognise
in
her
the
Queen's
sister,
Benretmut.
Below
the
scene
is
the
text
of
the
Shorter
Hymn
to
the
Aten.
A
translation
of
this,
among
other
versions,
has
already
been
given
in
Part
IV.
(Pis.
xxxii.,
xxxiii.
;
pp.
26-29).
Behind
the
kneeling
figure
of
Tutu
we
read
:
"
The
Chamberlain
(ami-Tchent),
Tutu,
maaleheru,
says
'
Listen
to
the
utterances
of
thy
son,
Ua-en-ra,
O
Aten,
who
fashioned
him
and
set
him
to
eternity
!'"

the
priest's
leopard-skin
shews
under
Tutu's
arm.

I
can

no

drawings
of
L'Hote
from
this
tomb
(Mon.

p.

I

Tombs.
the
west
wall.
Similar
in
scheme
as
are
the
pictures
on
either
side
of
the
doorway,
great
variety
of
detail
is
introduced.
The
speeches,
liberally
interpersed,
give
us
a
clue
to
the
events
which
are
commemorated,
but
they
are
sadly
incomplete.
The
scenes
occupy
only
about
two-
thirds
of
the
whole
length
of
the
upper
part
of
the
wall
on
each
side,
but
they
extend
over
the
doorway,
meeting
in
the
centre
there.
The
surface
of
the
stone
here,
as
everywhere
in
the
tomb,
is
most
unsightly
and
sadly
cor¬
roded
;
indeed
in
the
upper
parts
the
sculpture
is
almost
effaced.
This
is
due
to
the
countless
bats
that
infest
the
tomb
and
make
their
presence
known
to
the
nose
as
unpleasantly
as
to
the
eve.3
A
full
half
of
the
whole
picture
on
each
side
is
devoted
to
the
King,
his
family,
and
his
residence.
For
the
two
pictures
of
the
palace,
which
together
form
a
frame
round
the
doorway,
the
reader
is
referred
to
p.
36.
The
King
and
Queen
are
shown
here,
not
leaning
from
the
window,
but
seated
outside
it
in
the
courtyard
on
stools.
The
border
of
uraei
round
the
King's
head-dress
is
unusual.
The
upper
part
of
the
Queen's
figure
has
been
lost
with
the
fitted
stone
on
which
it
was
sculp¬
tured.
Apparently
she
was
dandling
three
of
her
daughters
on
her
knees,
for
we
see
the
feet
of
two
of
them
and
learn
from
the
hieroglyphs
that
they
were
the
eldest
and
youngest.
The
princess
Benretmut
again
appears
with
her
two
dwarfs
(in
front
of
the
attendants
below
the
throne).
Tutu
stands
before
the
King,
the
courtyard
being
filled
behind
him
with
a
throng
of
spec¬
tators,
two
royal
chariots,
and
five
fat
oxen.
These
last,
whether
as
coming
from
the
royal
farms
or
as
presents
to
the
King
in
accordance
with
the
Eastern
custom
of
gift
for
gift,
are
decorated
with
ribbons
and
plumes
on
their
horns
and
